Sometimes I question how much of the hate on Star Trek Discovery was actually because the show has its iffyness about feeling like Trek, and being focused on one character kind of makes it weird for a Star Trek show. And how much backlash was because it was really pushing progressive viewpoints. It kind of felt like almost every character was gay or bi, I don't think there were really any "straight while male" characters, eventually you had a They/Them character and their boyfriend who was never explicitly but felt heavily implied to be trans.
The problem of STD is that the screen writers were so focused on being diverse and progressive that they forgot they were writing a tv series. So the writing sucks throughout most of the show, it just sucks.

And most of the time its just Burnham being the stable genius and all other people are incompetent, or when they shine they only could do that because Burnham enabled them to do so. Oh, and of course Burnham crying in every episode as well.

That's not how to write a series. And this is what pissed off most die hard trekkies, that most of it has the budget of a little Hollywood movie but the story telling was just predictable shit.

She picked Tim Walz. I am both a little and very pleasantly surprised.

Harris picks Walz for VP
Vice President Harris has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) to be her running mate as she heads toward a November faceoff against Donald Trump, according to two sources familiar.

Walz, 60, emerged as a dark horse contender for the No. 2 slot as chatter over other high-profile names, in particular Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly (D), dominated the early portion of the veepstakes.

The sequel will probably be better.

I recently finished it, and I will say, the last season especially was a chore to get through.

I think it's biggest issue is that it CONSTANTLY looked at the moment and said "What would Star Trek Do?" And then said, "We are not doing that."

It was an alright show for Sci-Fi, it's kind of a TERRIBLE Star Trek show.

Thank got SNW and LD are so damn good. SNW especially feels like it is what Discovery wanted to be in every way, except.instead of rejecting Trek Tropes, it embraces them.

The future was handled so badley though, everything would/should have changed much much more. Plus why is Future Starfleet so fucking incompetent at everything.

Virginia man charged with threatening to kill Kamala Harris

The affidavit cites 19 mentions of Harris on the platform by an email account associated with Carillo, including a vow to “cut your eyes out of your head while you’re alive bitch” and the statement: “Kamala Harris needs to be put on fire alive I will do it personally.”

Writing in late July, after Joe Biden withdrew from his presidential re-election campaign and Harris closed in on the Democratic nomination for November’s race, Carillo said: “Harris is going to regret ever trying to become president because if that ever happened I will personally pluck out her eyes with a pair of pliers but first I will shoot and kill everyone that gets in my way that is a fucking promise.”

The same document said federal agents “seized an RF-15 rifle and a 9mm handgun” from Carillo’s residence.

I think Walz is the best choice, honestly. He has had a lifetime of service, and he has done a phenomenal job in MN. He genuinely cares about people, and his record shows that. It also helps that he is incredibly smart and will wipe the floor with JD Vance. The differences could not be more stark. Now the narrative the MAGAts are going with is "Kamala didn't pick Shapiro because he is Jewish". The same people whining about DEi. Make it make sense.

The main narrative Trump now uses against Harris is that she's soooo left that she even makes Bernie Sanders look like a GOP member. *yawns*

Also Trump has a plan for electricity... "You need double the electricity of the entire electricity we have right now in the United States in order to dominate.", and when he's finished people will be saying "We're begging you no more electricity, Sir, we have enough, we have enough."

I can't think of a better reason to celebrate the choice of Walz than this:

Trump’s Latest Attack on Kamala’s V.P. Pick Hilariously Backfires

Donald Trump’s campaign is taking aim at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for backing a policy that gives convicted felons the right to vote, conveniently forgetting that their candidate is also a convicted felon.

Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt released a statement Tuesday decrying Vice President Kamala Harris’s selection of “Radical Leftist Tim Walz” as her running mate.
